The site for the Toby Jug collector

My interest in Toby Jugs was sparked when as a young child I used to occasionally accompany my grandmother to where she worked in a local pub.    I remember that behind the bar on a shelf sat these figures which I now know were Toby Jugs, and although my memories of these jugs are vague, I recall being fascinated by these characters as I    waited while she worked.

Many years later a friend of mine bought a box of miscellaneous china at an auction, amongst which were two Toby jugs (pictured).  My friend was not interested in these jugs and gave them to me.    

That was it, my interest was rekindled and the rest, as they say, is history!

25 years after that first purchase I still enjoy digging around in antique shops and flea markets looking for that extra-special find, and have decided to share some of my acquired knowledge in the hope of finding like-minded soles who may be able to share some of theirs with me.  

If you have a collection you would like to talk about, or would like to see your collecting story here please email me
